Goat Simulator Launch Trailer Parodies Dead Island

March 27, 2014

Dead Island was one of the biggest disappointments of 2011. The game itself wasn’t bad – it was actually quite good. The disappointment came from how amazing the debut trailer was compared to the final game. Well, one of the most anticipated games of 2014 has recreated Dead Island’s debut trailer and I have a feeling the final game won’t disappoint.

Goat Simulator – the PC game born from a game jam and the Internet’s hopes and dreams – now has a launch trailer to go with its release date of April 1. Just like in the Dead Island trailer, we see a goat lying on the ground as it cuts back to previous events featuring the goat getting into all kinds of mischief and mayhem. While it’s not exactly heart breaking, it’s a perfect parody.

Alongside the trailer, the game also has this new warning:

Disclaimer: Goat Simulator is a completely stupid game and, to be honest, you should probably spend your money on something else, such as a hula hoop, a pile of bricks, or maybe pool your money together with your friends and buy a real goat.

Goat Simulator may be a completely stupid game, but it has captured our hearts. There’s just something incredibly appealing about destroying stuff as a goat. There’s no doubt in my mind that Goat Simulator will be one of the best selling games on Steam when it launches April 1.
